Why Are Christians Debating Over Modesty?
From wearing bikinis to "modest is hottest", Christians are discussing how modesty fits into our current cultural standard for women. However, is this debate being approached from an American cultural perspective, or a biblical worldview? My wife and I discuss why every Christian should be saying and living the same standard for modesty. #Modesty #Christianity #Culture
1 Timothy 2:9-10
"Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive apparel, but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness."

As a Muslim I came across this video and love you guys are speaking up about this issue!! I’m profundity of my Muslim sister that protect themselves by wearing a Jilbab and Hijab. I wish I had their strength 💪🏽
Great video fam. Keep it up!
I grew up like that too with a list of what should I wear an wouldn’t an it was very overwhelming. The Holy Spirit taught me how to dress once I left that denomination, he’s more concerned with our heart.

What denomination?
The bible tells us what a women of virtue looks like there’s nowhere in the bible that says it is ok for women to walk around naked lol
We are here to follow heavenly culture not the worldly culture.Christian should not look or act like the world. We should look like Jesus.

“Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand. One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. It is written: “ ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’ ” So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God. Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean. If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died. Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval. Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall. So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves. But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.” Romans 14:1-23 NIV

I am not using this scripture to condone people to think that it’s OK to dress inappropriately. But rather if you yourself let’s say if you are a physically attractive Christian man and have no conviction when walking down the street without a shirt on. Then amen. If let’s say you still have no conviction wearing a muscle shirt as a daily attire around your sisters in the lord who we are instructed to treat as pure. Then amen. But that doesn’t mean that the other parties conviction don’t rise up. So if the other person or even the sister says “Hey that’s inappropriate”. Scripture tells us to accept the on whose faith is weak and not cause them to stumble for their sake. So if others around don’t like it. As it says here. “If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.” Romans 14:15 NIV The same principle carries For example. If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you wear. You are no longer acting in love. I hope this make sense. Of course. The context here is based on disputable matters. Not actual things we know to be wrong. For Then we are to warn each other.

*The problem is most people don't even know what lust is. You probably think lust and sexuality are the same thing...guess what?...THEY'RE NOT. Sexuality is completely natural, healthy and proven to lengthen a life span. Lust is a manipulation of sexuality that harms yourself and others. Having a sexual feeling for someone isn't "lusting" after them. God created us to be sexual beings, that's why He gave us genitals and sex hormones. Also it's clinically proven that we benefit from daily masturbation meaning we benefit from sexual urges further proving that we're supposed to, by God's design, embrace our sexual nature. So even if someone is dressing to be enticing and turn heads, that's completely natural.*

*The idea of "modesty" is a complete joke. God created us to be fully naked with NO SHAME and it was only when we started playing our own game that we started viewing our bodies as disgraceful. 99% of clothing has nothing to do with trying to be provocative, it's just the person wearing what makes them comfortable. Clothing does not influence bad actions, bad character is what does.*

I agree with this to an extent. A women with large breasts or a man with defined muscles will be noticed no matter what they are wearing. But it's like you said someone's character or someone's heart determines if they get lead into sinful thinking or actions. Not the clothes. Also modesty has no clear definition anyway, someone's knee length skirt may seem whorish to someone else 's floor length skirt.
